    I'm actually not too sure how far off the bottom mine sits, but if you don't get to it till mid-week i should be home by then and can lend a hand and take a look at mine as well. Should be easy enough though.
    How many gal. is your cell? And do you plan on bringing extra gas to superstition? Trying to figure out how much I should bring

    mine is a 22. i went through 17 at the last meet with 4.10 gears. im 488 now and 33's. im filling the tacoma and bringing another 15 gallons. im trailering it out so that will save lots of fuel for the tacoma at least. im not going to dick with the tank till after the trip. im going to start her up for the first time in 7 months this afternoon though. little excited about that.

    Brady has them on his front. Just 8'' ones though.

    Alex is planing on front LT with his 10'' ones he has.

    and JW has some as well but just for Mid travel.

    don't really know of anyone with a real LT kit running them.

    How long does it take for coil-over springs to break in? I just got everything bolted on and flex tested. She doesn't flex very well lol. I hope you guys often see things soften up in the first few weeks or I'll have to buy some lighter springs.

    well..go hit some whoops. What LT is really for..not exactly flex..

    But like any CO..takes a little abuse for them to settle. All depends on how heavy your rig is and your spring rate.

    There is one 2nd gen I have seen, but no basically nothing about it that is running ORI's front and rear (4 linked rear). I think it is from Colorado, but like I said I have only seen a couple pics of it is all.
